Re: Ceasars poker room--stupid is as stupid does!

Recently, an example of this occurred in the Wynn Cardroom with their hiring of Negreanu. As far as I could tell, the fact that he played someone a heads up match for a lot of money back in the corner had no impact on their business one way or another.

I disagree. This was good publicity for their new poker room, which they wanted to establish for mid-high stakes players. Also, where it is true that the first games were played in the back of the room, I was there for one of the last games which was being played on a table next to the rail, and there was a large group of spectators watching the game.
